Klein's Bell was first issued in June 1931 and ran monthly until December 1932.
In January 1933 it merged with 'Strongman Magazine'

Each issue ranged from 4 to 8 pages. It was described as 'being published gratis for the pupils and friends of
Seigmund Klein's Studio of Physical Culture, 717 7th Avenue., at 48th St., New York City.'

By October 1931 the copies were costing 5c each and ultimately the publication was sold at 50c per year.

Because of his connections Klein was able to publish articles by a wide range of Physical Culture and Bodybuilding experts and
each issue is a gem containing the most interesting of articles, photos and personal recollections and anecdotes.
